What a travesty. Boeing should demonstrate their pride in having designed and built this incredible machine by showcasing her properly, under cover. They should fix her up, then preserve what they can of that original paint job. Spend whatever it takes. In another fifty years, that airplane will be an antique.

There's a similar situation at Duxford in the UK, several classic airliners left outside to the elements, slowly rusting away in the English countryside. Damn shame.
